It just seems to me that there is alot less departure and it feels like it flies on rails now. Except for the rare times I'm turn fighting at 90 ias, the P38 is even incredible... and I hate to say it, I don't like it.
I don't like that 'rail' feeling... I feel it is a step backwards in the FM model.
But technically, shouldn't that be how a P-38 flies and feels? It neutralizes it's own torque with counter rotational props.
I agree that I also feel the amount of general stability of all the planes have increased a lot, but there could be any number of reasons behind this - for one thing, the visual buffeting effect makes controlling planes immensely easier than before. I never realized that getting a visual input alongside audio input, was this effective.
Maybe people are avoiding going over the limit much more easily than they used to.
that may be part of the key .. but as a jug dweeb we cant slam the over 3 notches in a turn fight or we get the "Floppity Brick" .. what i see/feel now is the heavy management to manuver type planes are having to suffer a slower feel and air speed in the game ..
We want our 38's and jugs tuned back up so we can keep hurting "barbie spit 16's" even the p51 seams to be more manuverable as of late.
Maybe you should just accept the fact that a 13,000lbs plane just cannot really 'hurt' a 6,000lbs plane in their own game, no matter how much flaps are used, Rosc

As for the P-51s, I'm hearing mixed opinions about it too - for instance, Magoo points out that he feels the P-51s are also heavily hit by the FM change,.
